powertrains:
developing Sustainable Systems for
Electric Vehicles
In a Nutshell
ODYSSEV shapes the next generation of high-voltage powertrains at 1200 V and above, for battery electric vehicles. In this direction, ODYSSEV develops advanced automotive power converters, optimised powertrain elements and novel electronic topologies. These outcomes emerge from the integration of innovative features, configurations and prototyping at every single element of the powertrain (on-board charger, battery pack, inverter, motor and thermal management system). ODYSSEV tests the powertrain under real driving conditions by integrating it in a vehicle, paving the way for the deployment of next generation of C segment in the market of electric vehicles.

On-Board Chargers: The Technology Connecting Electric Vehicles to the Grid
The Role of On-Board Chargers in Electric Vehicles For most electric vehicle (EV) users, charging takes place at home, at work, or at public charging stations using alternating current (AC) electricity. The technology inside the vehicle that enables this process is the on-board charger (OBC). Since EV batteries store energy as direct current (DC), the OBC converts AC electricity from [...]
